À propos de cet audio
The bone-chilling, hair-raising second installment of the Southern Reach Trilogy.
For 30 years, a secret agency called the Southern Reach has monitored expeditions into Area X - a remote place with lush terrain that is mysteriously sequestered from civilization. After the twelfth expedition, the Southern Reach is in disarray, and John Rodriguez (a.k.a. "Control") is the team's newly appointed head. From a series of interrogations, a cache of hidden notes, and more than 200 hours of profoundly troubling video footage, the secrets of Area X begin to reveal themselves - and what they expose pushes Control to confront disturbing truths about both himself and the agency he's promised to serve.

Thomas Ligotti’s debut collection, Songs of a Dead Dreamer, and his second, Grimscribe, permanently inscribed a new name in the pantheon of horror fiction. Influenced by the strange terrors of Lovecraft and Poe and by the brutal absurdity of Kafka, Ligotti eschews cheap, gory thrills for his own brand of horror, which shocks at the deepest, existential, levels.

A very different story than Annihilation
A novel of the Southern Reach bureaucracy, unraveling and deepening the mysteries of Area X via exploration of the organization set up to study and safeguard. I can see how some people would balk at it or consider it more... boring? Consider it a part of the ride. It is worth the journey.

Very different from the first book
I absolutely loved the first book in the series so I was a little disappointed when the sequel was a lot slower paced, and focused on a character that I was a lot less invested in. I'm still completely enthralled by the concept and horrific aspects of these books, but this one was a bit more of a grind for sure. Still clever and creepy, but very little actually happens outside of the protagonists head. I still recommend it and can't wait to listen to the 3rd one though. the last few chapters are crazy

I’ll have to give this another read
This is the first time I’m reading (listening) to authority and from what I can recall from others is that you have to read this again to fully understand what is going on. My mind throughout the novel felt all over the place because of how slow paced it felt when control is interviewing the so called “biologist” from the first book. They say there’s a lot of deeper things in this when you give it a second go so I’m going to wait a while before I do that. As a first experience, it’s slow for sure and like the first of the series it picks up near the end when you discover more of the border.

Interesting sequel
Story wise, this second book of the trilogy is quite different from the first but just enough similar too keep you in. I personally was less into the "spy" and "secret service" storyline and there are parts where my interest wane. But the scify/surnatural mystery was weaved in just enough that I kept going.
As a lot middle of three-book series, it feels more a a bridge between the other and end abruptly. so it's tough to judge on its own.
The reading performance is great and set the mood. There are certain parts where it get monotone but it's mainly because the story hit a long passage.

A very disturbing yet familiar setting
Working for the government in the lowest levels the bureaucratic layers are so perfectly fitting yet with the disturbing foresight of knowing what’s going to happen, it just added layers. I really liked it.
